1991réf. 83732Wheeling WV: Innovation Books 1991. First Printing Stated. Trade paperback. Very good. Mike Okamoto Matt Thompson Bard Gorby. 48 pages plus covers. Profusely illustrated in color. This is Book One of Six. In a contemporary society where magic and science are both taken for granted a man named Zane down on his luck attempts suicide--only to find himself confronting and killing the embodiment of Death! Zane is forced to take his place as one of the Incarnations of Immortality along with Fatem Time War and Mother Nature. Book One: "To Buy a Stone" begins a story of beautiful women adventures in Hell and a Heaven as loaded with bureaucracy as the next business! Piers Anthony Dillingham Jacob born 6 August 1934 is an American author in the science fiction and fantasy genres publishing under the name Piers Anthony. He is best known for his long-running novel series set in the fictional realm of Xanth. Many of his books have appeared on The New York Times Best Seller list and he claims one of his greatest achievements has been to publish a book beginning with every letter of the alphabet from Anthonology to Zombie Lover. In 1957 Anthony decided to join the United States Army as his wife was now pregnant and they needed both medical coverage and a steady source of income. During his two-year enlistment he became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1958 and became an editor and cartoonist for his battalion's newspaper. After completing military service he briefly taught school at Admiral Farragut Academy in St. Petersburg Florida before deciding to try to become a full-time writer. David Campiti born May 9 1958 is an American animation producer comic book writer talent agent and co-founder of Innovation Publishing.2 As CEO of Glass House Graphics3 Campiti oversees an international animation studio and agency of illustrators writers painters and digital designers. In 1988 Campiti wrote a business proposal which helped raise $400000 to finance the launch of Innovation Publishing. Innovation brought literary film and TV tie-in series and adaptations such as Anne Rice's The Vampire Lestat Dark Shadows Quantum Leap and Lost in Space. Incarnations of Immortality is the name of an eight-book fantasy series by Piers Anthony. The books each focus on one of eight supernatural "offices" Death Time Fate War Nature Evil Good and Night in a fictional reality and history parallel to ours with the exception that society has advanced both magic and modern technology. The series covers the adventures and struggles of a group of humans called "Incarnations" who hold these supernatural positions for a certain time. The title alludes to William Wordsworth's 1804 poem Ode: Intimations of Immortality. Incarnations uses its premise to ponder questions regarding the nature of life. As each character goes from a mortal life to the "office" of an Incarnation they are forced to contemplate their actions on a daily basis. Each Incarnation may use their office within limits as they see fit. This system humanizes what would otherwise be impersonal forces leading to both extensive considerations of the effects of the incarnation's work and the impact it has on not only humanity but also the other offices of immortality as well. Another humorous side of Incarnations is the portrayed magic/technology duality. Most series emphasize one or the other means of understanding and manipulating the world but in Incarnations each method is equal in usefulness and respect. This leads to a number of amusing parallels such as competition between automobile and magic-carpet manufacturers. By the future time period of Norton magic is referred to as the Fifth Fundamental Force with its own primary particle the Magicon similar to a graviton. A few other series have used the technology/magic combined motif notably Apprentice Adept another series by Piers Anthony and Four Lords of the Diamond by Jack Chalker although that book had an actual technological basis for the explanation of its magic in contrast to Piers Anthony's work. Anthony uses the number five extensively. The five Incarnations are associated with the five elements Death with Earth Fate with Water War with Fire Nature with Air and Time with Void and often other items with fives the previously mentioned Book of Five Rings. There are five fundamental interactions magic being the fifth. The Llano consists of five songs. In On a Pale Horse Gaea teaches Zane five patterns of thought each represented by diagrams of five short lines. A fourth theme of Incarnations is the multigenerational human story between the Incarnations. Previous characters repeatedly appear in later novels and by the final novel every major character is related by blood marriage or affair. The Showtime series Dead Like Me was inspired by the book On a Pale Horse. Innovation Books paperback

1981réf. 42686Boston: Houghton Mifflin 1981. First Printing Stated. Hardcover. Very good/Good. 24 cm. xii 2 528 pages. illus. index slight wear to DJ edges form letter from Javits to members of Congress laid in. About the author: Jacob Koppel Javits May 18 1904 March 7 1986 was an American lawyer and politician from the U.S. state of New York. A member of the Republican Party he served in both chambers of the United States Congress a member of the United States House of Representatives from 1947 to 1954 and a member of the United States Senate from 1957 to 1981. He also served as Attorney General of New York from 1955 to 1957. Generally considered a liberal Republican he was often at odds with his own party. A supporter of labor unions the Great Society and the civil rights movement he played a key role in the passing of civil rights legislation. An opponent of the Vietnam War he drafted the War Powers Resolution in 1973. A personal memoir by the New York Republican senator depicts his long political career his many political colleagues including Dewey Rockefeller and LBJ the consequences of Watergate and the future of his party. Derived from a Kirkus review: Admirers of New York's longtime 1957-81 liberal Republican senator cherish their memories: Javits a formidable campaigner. He might have been a v-p or presidential candidate. Out to win a Congressional seat in 1946 after WW II exposure to "Potomac fever" Javits searched for a "Democratic district where the chances of a Republican victory would be slight--and where I a neophyte might be welcomed by the Republican organization." His upset victory then made him instantly known. Eager for local office after three terms in the House he overlooked a first Dewey rebuff to put himself forward again--on the basis that "I'm the only Republican who can beat FDR Junior" for the attorney-generalship. That triumph--the only victory on the ticket--set Javits up to run against Robert Wagner Jr. for the Senate. He speaks out too on the discomforts of being an urban liberal Republican legislator--committed to civil rights low-cost housing and rent control health care Israel internationalism--and specifically on how he progressed from "cold-shouldered outsider to respected insider" in the Senate. He hedges on Rockefeller and remains discreet about Nixon. Not without specifically political interest. Houghton Mifflin hardcover
